themselves by the most solemn oaths,

with the sublimity attaching of old to the
Eleueinian Mysteries, to unite in secret
societies whose purpose it was to punish the
human race, and thus to permit the ap-
probation of Bliewanee, by whom men anal
woolen are abhorred. This punishment
took the form of enticing rich travellers to
become the eteripaeions of armed bands of
Thugs, who, preteudiug to be .merchants,
or soldiers seeking service with the Nizn.ui,
or with Holkar, Soiudiah, or others among
the powerful feudal princes, offered protec-

Meadows Taylor, in his three-volumedwork
entitled " Confessions of a Thug," tells us
that most of the information supplied in his
work came from a ruffian called ,Ameer Ali,
who told hint that,beforo he turned informer
to save his worthless life, he had, as a Thug,
put todeath(with his own band 719 victims,
"Ali I Sahib," he added, regretfully, " if I
had not been in prison for twelve years, the
number would certainly have beeen 1000."
When Ameer Ali was five years old his
father and mother were killed by Thugs.
The boy was spared through the interposi-
tion of one of the band and was reared as a
Thug. A chapter in Meadows Taylor's
work tells how Ameer Ali killed his first
mita. Ameer Aids foster father had per-
suaded a rich sowear to accompany the band
of Thugs which the old man commanded
from the sowcar's home in Nagpoor to Hy-
derabad, whither they were all bound. The
sowear, imagining himself to be in honest
hands, informed the
men or THE BIND OF MIIRDFSRzns
that be was about to carry a good deal of
treasure, together with some valuable
jewels and merchandise, from Nagpoor to
Hyderabad. " dust at nightfall," said
Ameer Ali, "the sowear came to our camp
in a small travelling cart, with two servants
and three ponies, on which his tent and
baggage wore laden, and with ten bullocks
and their drivers. Altogether there were
eight men, including the sowear. He was

Now that a cyclist oerps forms a .recognise -

is high timethatcommanding officers should
know from personal experience what can
and cannot be done with a cycle as well as
with a horse. Seeiug that Gen, de (laldiflot

the prince of beaux sabreara and the quint-

presumed that the reproach under which the
cycle had so long labored—that of being

BICYCLISTS IN TIIE GERMAN ARMY.
In the German maneeuvre9 around iti.etz
certain innovations have been tested this
year for the first time. The most inter-
esting was the use of 'cyclists for despatch
duty. The Berlin correspondent of the
London Standard says: r'It was found
that this means of transport for the convey-
ance of despatches was very useful, espe-
cially at night time. Owing to the success-
ful experiments made within the hist few
days, it is more than probable that cycles
will be generally adopted in the German
army. The rider is armed with a revolver

private patients such as Mee. Daly were

of the case had to be adjourned till the
afternoon. Sister Madeline, the Lady Su.

AT THE Aitrven.
A Montreal reporter drove out to the
Longue Pointe Asylum the other morning
and had an interview with the Mother Su-
perior and the doctor who is in attendance
oil Alm. Daly. An order to see the lady
wfte refused, as it was entirely against the
rules of the Asylum to allow any outsiders
to talkie private patients without es speci-
fic order Strom the relatives who were her
lawful guardians. Sister Madeline, the
Superior of the Asylnnt,tvas at first inclined

they had taken her in on the strength of a
certificate signed by two American physi-
cians of good repute. She was asked how
she knew that the doctors who signed the
application were men in good standing in;
their profession and replied that the
asylum authorities had a list of all
the physicians in good standing in the
United States and that it was duly con.
salted. As to the husband, from what she
could observe, he was very muck pained at
having to leave his wife there. He had
made every possible enquiry to make cer-
tain that she would be well treated, and
was convinced that the only reason he
brought her to the asylum was that he

and he thought the. treatmen t would do her
good. From her own observations she was
almost certain that the lady was mentally
iriesponaible. Under the circumstances the
only person to whom she would feel justified
in surrendering the lady without an order
from Court would be her liusbane, who was
her only lawful guardian. Speaking mote
particularly about her refusal to allow the
brother to take her away, she said they had
no proof whatever that the roan was her
brother. When he called lie was consider-
ably excited and loudly proclaimed that his

about fourteen years. Sister Madeline
afterwards called in the physician who was
attending Mrs Daly. He was perfectly con-
vinced that there was something wrong with
Mrs. Daly, at any rate he wouldn't give at
present permission to remove: her though
her husband as a matter of course had the
right to take her away. She was very sus-
picious of hint and he had the greatest
trouble in watching her actions, but from
what lie could see she certainly was men-
tally irresponsible. Yesterday she had been
given a, piece of naw underwear which
almost immediately after she had torn into
little bits. For the last few days whenever
she was given tea or coffee she had inva-
riably thrown away the first cup when she
thought she was not being observed, and
tile fleeter thought that she did this for fear
of being peisoued. She has a fine room in

she has been in the asylum has had the
